Yasmin Green (née McHugh; previously Matthews and MacKenzie) was a fictional character in UK soap opera Family Affairs, played by Ebony Thomas from 1998 until the end of the series in 2005.
Green first appeared in late 1998 along with her younger brother Benji and their mother, Dusty who ran the local Newsagents. Yasmin was a rebellious teenager who never really settled down at school and was constantly partying, much to her mother's despair.
In January 1999, Yasmin became involved with Josh Matthews, who had been chasing a record deal. The couple later became engaged and were married the week before Christmas. They went to Jamaica for their Honeymoon and returned very much in love. Things were rosy until Josh became bored with married life and began an affair with Julie-Ann Jones, the daughter of local Publican Pete Callan and eventually left Yasmin to go to Greece with Julie-Ann in March 2000, breaking Yasmin's heart.
In June 2000, Josh returned to Charnham only to find that Yasmin had an affair in his absence with Josh's best mate, Declan Byrne. Despite all of this, Josh wanted Yasmin back and the two reconciled for the time being.
Having reconciled, It was only a matter of time before Josh began playing away again; This time with Julie-Ann's sister, Siobhan. Despite Josh wanting to be with Siobhan, He was rejected by her. Siobhan then married her boss, Pete. One night, an enraged Josh broke into the pub and began attacking Pete. Siobhan quickly subdued Josh with a candlestick and phoned for an ambulance. Pete seized his chance to silence Josh for good by hitting Josh again resulting in his death. Yasmin was left widowed and several months pregnant.
Adrian Scott, who worked in the shop proved to be a great support for Yasmin. Adrian supported Yasmin after her miscarriage and the two later began dating. Adrian's children were divided on their father dating again. Adrian's daughter Becky was fine with it, but her brother Darren resented it as he'd always hoped their parents would always get back together. Adrian was initially nervous about the relationship after he had suffered a harowing rape while in prison and was worried about being infected with a disease. Eventually, Adrian was given the all-clear and their relationship resumed
